Gastric Infection
Hardly the most interesting of blog posts, but it’s a welcome one for me as it hopefully signals the end of the past three weeks.
Since early Feb, I’ve been suffering from the most god-awful stomach acid and cramps which have left me pretty much knocked for six. With zero energy or appetite, I was living off a selection of pills designed to control the acid in one form or another.
Unfortunately it now means I’m off the coffee and curry for a bit so my days are tired and tasteless.
Anyway, touch wood, fingers crossed, rabbits foot and lucky heather on standby, the pains have gone and I’m on the mend.
Let the blogging resume!
UPDATE (May 2008)
Turns out the stomach pains above were probably a precursor to what I’ve just experienced – a burst appendix which lead onto peritonitis. From what I’ve since read up on peritonitis, it’s quite serious so quite glad I went under the knife and had everything sorted. Big thanks to all at Peterborough District Hospital!
Euuuw, I know how that feels. I had the same thing intermittently for years – combination of living too hard – booze, food, stress etc all loaded on top of working too hard. As I’ve got older its stopped happening so often or so bad, I think because I worry less – although I still like my food and drink and work way too hard. Popping rennies to get through the stomach pain wasn’t a good way to be, and I wouldn’t want to be there again.
